Mountains and rivers pray for peace

Chapter 130 Provoking Discord
Two hours quickly slipped through the cracks of pen and ink. When Jian Zheng rang the bell, everyone put down their purple-hao pens at the same time and respectfully waited for Jian Zheng to collect the paper.

By the time Huo Qi left the Tiyuan Hall, it was already past noon.Luo Rou caught up with her at the east corner gate and said hurriedly: "Huo Qi, why are you walking so fast! I was still thinking of saying a few words to you."

Huo Qi paused and smiled slightly: "I'm sorry, what do you want to tell me?"

Luo Rou scratched her head in embarrassment and quickly shook Huo Qi's hand: "Well, we will be good friends from now on. If you need me anywhere in the future, just tell me!"

Luo Rou couldn't help being nervous.

In fact, she had met Huo Qi once at the Qiu Ju Banquet. At that time, she saw that Huo Qi could still calmly respond to the provocation of Princess De'an with four ounces of strength, and she felt that Huo Qi had something like an ordinary official girl. No magnanimity.This time Huo Qi conquered the tigress Liu Yiyi again, and she was so impressed that she fell to the ground.If she didn't take the opportunity to make some friends, she, Luo Rou, would have lived so many years in vain.

"Thank you." Huo Qi smiled, "See you tomorrow."

Speaking of this, Luo Rou's bright little face immediately turned bitter: "Although these three subjects are terrible today, fortunately, the rankings will not be announced until five days later. The list is enough, and there is no need to go out to meet people. But tomorrow, the results of the three disciplines will be announced on the spot, and it will be clear who is the leader and who is the bottom. I will definitely make people laugh on the spot!"

"My intuition tells me that you won't be at the bottom." Huo Qi winked at her slyly.

Seeing that Huo Qi's words were serious, Luo Rou was about to ask her if her intuition was accurate, but she didn't expect a white-faced and beardless eunuch to suddenly appear behind her.

The eunuch greeted the two of them and then explained his purpose: "Miss Huo, the Za family is Zhang Rang from Changle Palace. Concubine Shu would like to invite you to visit Changle Palace now. Is it convenient?"

Huo Qi patted Luo Rou's hand: "You go back to the house to rest first." Then smiled at Zhang Rang: "Please trouble your father-in-law to lead the way. "

Luo Rou was taken aback for a moment, although she was usually careless and hot-tempered, she was the daughter of Shaoqing's family in Guanglu Temple, and she was not without a plan.Seeing that the eunuch was wearing a gray-blue mandarin jacket and blue leather boots, which was the uniform of the chief eunuch, he immediately told Huo Qi, "Be careful."

"It's okay, it's just to talk." Huo Qi smiled lightly.

"Exactly." Zhang Rang responded calmly, but he admired Huo Qi's courage in his heart.After all, Concubine Shu now favors the Sixth Palace. Even if some qualified wives are called to talk, they will inevitably worry about this and that.But this Miss Huo didn't seem to take it seriously. Could it be that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers?

Nie Ying and Liu Yiyi collected the papers late and walked slowly. They came out of the Tiyuan Hall together, and then arrived at the corner gate, just in time to see Zhang Rang beckoning Huo Qi away.

Nie Ying turned her eyes on Liu Yiyi's ugly face as if watching a show, and sighed with envy on purpose: "This sister Huo is really a noble person, she was just 'invited' by the second prince to go away, this will I was called by Concubine Shu to talk to me again, which is really a blessing unparalleled by others."

"Misfortune is where good fortune rests, and good fortune is where misfortune lies. Who can say for sure whether this is a blessing or a disaster?" Liu Yiyi snorted.

Nie Ying was not annoyed at all by Liu Yiyi's merciless rebuttal. Instead, she covered her mouth and laughed: "Although that is the case, I have heard people say before that the Zhenyuan Hou Mansion of Concubine Shu's mother's house was originally interested in Huo. Qi is the eldest concubine, but it was only by fate that she married the daughter of the second wife of the Huo family. Now that Concubine Shu has invited her over at this juncture, could it be... that she intends to let Huo Qi change from niece-in-law to daughter-in-law."

Nie Ying secretly smiled in her heart, she had already talked about this point, but she couldn't believe that Liu Yiyi would not bite the hook.

She had heard from the Liu family that the Liu family had a big spring and autumn dream of sending Liu Yiyi to the fifth prince's mansion.Since the fall of the second prince, the fifth prince has become the hottest figure in the palace.Although she also felt that the Liu family had high self-esteem and whimsical ideas, she had no interest in the fifth prince at all, so it would be best to provoke Liu Yiyi and provoke conflicts between her and Huo Qi.

As expected, Liu Yiyi clenched her fist: "Is she worthy?"

"Although it's not worthy, some people can't help but flatter the concubine Shu to please her." Nie Ying sighed slightly, "I heard that the fifth prince is a character like a jade tree. In my opinion, he should be like Sister Liu. A good girl is worthy of matching."

Liu Yiyi's face softened a little, and she blamed: "What are you making fun of me? Be careful with your skin!"

Nie Ying saw that she was pretending to be angry on her face, but she was actually overjoyed. She couldn't help but secretly despise her, but her words were still as beautiful as flowers: "Oh, I did very poorly in these three subjects today. I don't expect to be able to do it." We went to a good place. I watched with cold eyes. Among these people, the ones with the best qualifications are Sister Liu and Sister Huo. Although Sister Huo is good, in my heart I always prefer that my sister can rise to the top. But now In this case, Concubine Shu wouldn’t want to sell her something cheap, would she?”

"Heh, since she wants to play these unsightly tricks behind other people's backs, then I can only accompany her." Liu Yiyi smiled viciously, projecting it into Nie Ying's round almond eyes, But it was a stronger smile.

Two flowers bloom, one on each side.Over a cup of tea, Huo Qi was invited into Changle Palace by Zhang Rang.As soon as she entered the hall, she saw several layers of meandering moonlight gauze covering the high seats in the main hall. The dazzling sunlight outside flowed along the moonlight gauze and onto the charming face of the woman sitting on the seat, leaving only a layer of pale golden brilliance. .

This woman is Concubine Shu, who is now in the midst of a holy family.Even though she had given birth to a son and a daughter for Emperor Xiaowen, there was no trace of time on her face.Leaning on the couch, he looks as noble and cool as a long-haired Persian cat.

Seeing Huo Qi enter the hall and make a big gift, she lazily said, "You child, why do you have to make such a big gift?"

"This is the duty of a courtier." Huo Qi bowed his body and buried his head.

Concubine Shu smiled charmingly, thinking that Huo Qi was a sensible person.She waved her hand, asked Zhang Rang to help Huo Qi get up, and then ordered the maid beside her to push away the moonlight veil, and then she smiled, like an elder who really cared for the junior: "How do you feel about the three disciplines that are competing today? ?”

Huo Qi paused, with a bit of shyness on his face: "My daughter has always been dull, Zuo is just trying her best."

"It's good for young people to be modest, but you can't be too modest. I know that you child always has plans in your mind, but you don't say it out loud." Concubine Shu covered her sleeves and smiled lightly.

Huo Qi cautiously didn't answer, only gave a flawless soft smile.

Concubine Shu looked at her calmly. She really didn't understand what her eldest brother was planning now.Qiu Ju wanted her to marry Yuan and Huo's family before the last banquet, but two days ago, someone sent someone to send a letter to the palace, asking her to test Huo Qi's character.But she looked around and saw that Huo Qi, a yellow-haired girl, had something to test.

However, she understood Yuan Xianzhi, and he would not have rashly asked her for help if the matter was not of great importance.Thinking of Yuan Xianzhi's instructions, she continued: "Speaking of which, I just need someone who knows both cold and hot things around me right now. If you are interested, I can consider letting Lexuan know and let her give you a bargain. "
